Part one of a two part wallet-emptying, this finished off a set of what was seven TGI Friday licences - but with only two trading right now, one long gone (although present - its now a Dunnes Stores off-licence), one further closed, and one up for sale - may have been a lot of wasted effort.
Situated in the former Bewleys on Fleet Street, which was briefly a Starbucks in a horrific circle-closing of some kind, this is a vast premises and, when I visited, nearly empty. The came could not be said for nearly every other food serving venue in the city, as it was an exceptionally busy day - beautiful weather for late September, pay day weekend for many and so on. You can take a guess as to why when you see the price of the food.
Its a TGI Fridays, so you get the same as everywhere else - overpriced food, slightly overpriced drinks, muted sports on TV and eye-assualting decor. And after consuming all that, a hefty bill with a 5% service charge - probably the only 'casual dining' chain in Ireland to do this for small groups or solo diners.
My bill for lunch and two pints plus service was FORTY SEVEN quid.
